Wow. My life has definitely changed since I last posted.
College is fun! College is also stressful. But I absolutely love it and can’t wait for what’s next. I guess I don’t really have a solid answer as to why I haven’t posted in so long. Transitioning into college, finally taking care of my mental health, and getting into a relationship (this one is pretty cool) have all kept me pretty busy for the last year or so. I understand if you guys are frustrated with my lack of posting. I’m sorry that I have not been as consistent as I used to be, and I will be better about consistency in the future.
If you can take anything from this, it’s that taking care of yourself and your mental health is the MOST important thing you can do. I now feel so much happier doing what I love (making videos!!!) and get to put so much more into these videos because that barrier is now gone.
I love you all and appreciate the constant support, even while I’ve been away. This is truly my passion, and I could not be more thankful to have an audience. I really hope everyone is doing well, too! Please update me in the comments. I love hearing your stories/thoughts :)
I hope you enjoy the video!!

LYRICS:
I see your path has been chosen
you really think we’ll stay frozen
entering our village
holding up your nail
you have no idea the strength we hold
one of our sisters steps down
fearless knight, stand your ground
our brethren roam free here
other bugs live in fear
little one, reminisce
(brethren roam free here)
clouds of poison and dust
rust-colored spores combust
trying to take control
slaughter every bug whole
no longer a vast kingdom
we are protecting
the Mantis Village
from outsiders like
them and their sickness
you have no idea
how hard we worked
for this to become
something sacred
and protected
we are safe here
from infection
go on now, raise your nail
two sisters come to avail
stronger than we had expected
your persistence is effective
it seems to me that we’re failing
effortlessly you’re prevailing
faster and faster we become as we lose our strength
little knight you have won
we bow down to you
